Waveform design with low sidelobe and low correlation properties for MIMO radar

MIMO radar can transmit different signals via different antennas, which enables flexible designs of transmit beampattern. At present, the most methods for beampattern design focus on the spatial performance. In this paper, an approach is proposed to design MIMO radar waveform with beampattern having low sidelobe level and low spatial cross-correlation level, and with the spatial signals having low temporal correlation properties. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
